Best Intel motherboard for Intel Core i5-3450 processor

[Stel]

Guys one of my friend has shifted to US and he has given me his system for use. The problem with his system is that its board doesn’t work anymore. I don’t know what’s wrong with it, it has Intel Core i5-3450 processor and every other component is well working. My friend just told me to get a good Intel board for it and his system will work great. So just suggest me the best board I can get for Intel Core i5-3450 processor so that I can do a bit of gaming on it. I don’t have much idea about all these things so suggestion regarding this will be appreciated.

If you want to get a board for gaming than don’t go for intel. If you want to get a budget one than “BIOSTAR TZ77B LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS” or “ASRock H77M-ITX LGA 1155 Intel H77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard” will be a better deal. I have ASRock in one of my home pc and it works great. I have been using it from 9 months and I haven’t faced a single issue because of it. You will get them under $100. In case you don’t mind spending more that let me know your budget so that I can present you better choices.

ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard will be a better choice over the ones mentioned above. You just have to pay $110 for it. I haven’t used it by one of my friend does, I think it is one of the best budget board to handle Core i7 / i5 / i3 (LGA1155) CPU’s.

If budget is not your issue then check out below ones, these are some of the best boards I have came across:

• GIGABYTE GA-B75M-D3V LGA 1155 Intel B75 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - AR$ 675 approximately
• GIGABYTE GA-H77M-D3H LGA 1155 Intel H77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - AR$ 799 approximately
• ASUS P8H77-M/CSM LGA 1155 Intel H77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - AR$ 859 approximately
• GIGABYTE GA-Z77-DS3H LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard - AR$ 890 approximately

Above ones are too costly for me, this is not my system and I will be using it for 1 year and so say until my friend returns, My budget is $200 and max to max I can spend $300 for a board for using it in some other system in future, so please suggest me accordingly.
